You All Delivered My Miracle!
I’m happy to report that the Trusty Ford is back in its appointed place. The repairs were not cheap by any means, but the worst did not happen and, well, you guys came through in a way I could never have imagined. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I can not tell [...]
I’m Asking for a Small Tip Jar Miracle, But You Can Deliver It.

If you’re in the Canandaigua area and see a flyer advertising a Messiah performance by EnChor, stop in and listen! [...]
